Gibbs Jr. was the son of ENCOM founder Walter Gibbs. He inherited the company after Kevin Flynn stepped down and vanished, but found himself unable to steer the company through a rough financial patch. The CEO of Future Control Industries (F-Con) offered to buy the struggling firm. Despite Alan Bradley's advice not to go through with the merger, Gibbs Jr. signed the paperwork needed for F-Con to take over. It is unknown what became of the younger Gibbs after that, but it is presumed the merger was cancelled due to the flagrantly illegal actions of Seth Crown, Eva Popoff, and Esmond Baza.
